Models Walk at New York Fashion Week for LGBTQ Mental Health

The show was called #YOLO: You Only Live Once and was hosted by Supermodels Unlimited Magazine. All money raised from the show went to The Trevor Project, an organization that works to prevent suicide among LGBTQ youth.

“I think it’s really important and will help save lives,” said Trevor Project leader Amit Paley.

Suicide is a major problem facing LGBTQ youth. 29 percent of LGB youth attempted suicide in 2015, according to the CDC. In the same year, 6 percent of straight youth attempted suicide.

“As a society, we don’t talk about it,” said Kimberly Clark, the editor-in-chief at Supermodel Unlimited. “It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to not be okay. Let’s break the stigma.”
